Fremantle Dockers continue to build

VideoThe Fremantle Dockers have continued to build their team for the future, providing two younger players with contract extensions.

Fremantle are in a group of six clubs expert commentator Terry Wallace doesn’t rate heading into the 2019 season.

The Dockers received an influx of experienced talent through the trade period, including Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb to fill the key forward posts.

Those acquisitions, along with midfielders Reece Conca and Travis Colyer, have buoyed a success-starved Purple Army after three seasons out of the finals.

But Wallace said Ross Lyon’s side was still too “flaky” to be trusted.

“I don’t rate Fremantle,” Wallace said.

“Even with the inclusions of the bigger blokes coming in, I’m not sure they can get enough supply to the bigger blokes to make the leap they believe they can.

“They’re flaky so I don’t trust them.”

Speaking on radio station SEN this week, Wallace said there were major question marks over a Fremantle midfield unit that has lost best-and-fairest winner Lachie Neale to Brisbane and seen Connor Blakely (hamstring) and Stephen Hill (quad) struck down by injury.
